DANGER

Danger of explosion.

There are circumstances in which odorant used with LP/propane gas can lose its scent. In case of a leak, LP/propane gas will settle close to the floor and may be difficult to smell. An LP/propane leak detector should be installed in all LP applications.

Use only the type of gas approved for use with this furnace. Refer to unit nameplate.

EL296UHE units are CSA International certified to ANSI Z21.47 and CSA 2.3 standards.

Building Codes

In the USA, installation of gas furnaces must conform with lo cal building codes. In the absence of local codes, units must be installed according to the current National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI‐Z223.1/NFPA 54). The National Fuel Gas Code is available from the following address:

American National Standards Institute, Inc.

11 West 42nd Street

New York, NY 10036 In Canada, installation must conform with current National

Standard of Canada CSA‐B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes, local plumbing or waste water codes and other applicable local codes.

Installation Locations

This furnace is CSA International certified for installation clearances to combustible material as listed on the unit nameplate and in the table in figure 12. Accessibility and ser vice clearances must take precedence over fire protection clearances.

NOTE - For installation on combustible floors, the furnace shall not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other than wood flooring.

For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must be installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source are located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed in a public garage, hangar, or other building that has a haz ardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed accord ing to recommended good practice requirements and cur rent National Fuel Gas Code or CSA B149 standards.

NOTE - Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature rise within the range specified on the unit nameplate. Failure to do so may cause erratic limit operation and premature heat exchanger failure.

This EL296UHE furnace must be installed so that its electrical components are protected from water.

Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil

When this furnace is used with cooling coils (figure 3), it shall be installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cool ing coils to avoid condensation in the heating compartment. With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or other means to control the flow of air) must adequately prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the damper is manually oper ated, it must be equipped to prevent operation of either the heating or the cooling unit, unless it is in the full HEAT or COOL setting.

When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded according to local codes. In addition, in the United States, installation must conform with the current National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following ad dress:

NOTE - This furnace is designed for a minimum continu ous return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermit tent operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases where a night setback thermostat is used. Return air tem perature must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.

The EL296UHE furnace may be installed in alcoves, clos ets, attics, basements, garages, crawl spaces and utility rooms in the upflow or horizontal position.

This furnace design has not been CSA certified for installa tion in mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or outdoors.

Use of Furnace as Construction Heater

Lennox does not recommend the use of EL296UHE units as a construction heater during any phase of construction. Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and op eration of the unit with clogged or misplaced filters will dam age the unit.

EL296UHE units may be used for heating of buildings or structures under construction, if the following conditions are met:

D The vent system must be permanently installed per

these installation instructions.

D A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of

fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is not allowed.

D The return air duct must be provided and sealed to the

furnace.

D Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C) and

80°F (27°C) must be maintained.

D Air filters must be installed in the system and must be

maintained during construction.

D Air filters must be replaced upon construction comple

tion.

Page 4

Page 5

D The input rate and temperature rise must be set per the

furnace rating plate.

D One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be pro

vided for combustion air requirements during construc tion. Temporary ducting may supply outdoor air to the furnace. Do not connect duct directly to the furnace. Size the temporary duct following these instructions in section for Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air in a confined space with air from outside.

D The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system,

air filters and evaporator coils must be thoroughly cleaned following final construction clean-up.

D All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, in

put rate, temperature rise and venting) must be verified according to these installation instructions.

General

These instructions are intended as a general guide and do not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities having jurisdiction before installation.

In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the fol lowing general recommendations must be considered when installing an EL296UHE furnace:

• Place the furnace as close to the center of the air dis tribution system as possible. The furnace should also be located close to the vent termination point.

• When the furnace is installed in non-direct vent applica tions, do not install the furnace where drafts might blow directly into it. This could cause improper combustion and unsafe operation.

• When the furnace is installed in non-direct vent applica tions, do not block the furnace combustion air opening with clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper combustion and safe unit operation.

• When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insu lated space, keep insulation away from the furnace.

• When the furnace is installed in an unconditioned space, consider provisions required to prevent freezing of condensate drain system.

• The “A” coil drain pan is high quality engineering poly mer with a maximum service temperature of 500° F. However, adequate space must be provided between the drain pan and the furnace heat exchanger. At least 2” space is required for sectionalized heat exchanger and and 4” for drum-type or oil-fired furnace exchanger. Closer spacing may damage the drain pan and cause leaking.

CAUTION

EL296UHE unit should not be installed in areas nor mally subject to freezing temperatures.

WARNING

The State of California has determined that this prod uct may contain or produce a chemical or chemicals, in very low doses, which may cause serious illness or death. It may also cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm.

WARNING

Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rust ing and premature heat exchanger failure. Excessive exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in safety and performance related problems. Avoid exposure to the following substances in the com bustion air supply:

Permanent wave solutions Chlorinated waxes and cleaners Chlorine base swimming pool chemicals Water softening chemicals De-icing salts or chemicals Carbon tetrachloride Halogen type refrigerants Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene) Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc. Hydrochloric acid Cements and glues Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers Masonry acid washing materials

Combustion, Dilution & Ventilation Air

If the EL296UHE is installed as a Non-Direct Vent Fur nace, follow the guidelines in this section.

NOTE - In Non-Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace and flue gases are discharged out-doors.

In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient outdoor air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air that was needed. In today's homes, tight construction practices make it necessary to bring in air from outside for combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans, ap pliance vents, chimneys, and fireplaces force additional air that could be used for combustion out of the house. Unless outside air is brought into the house for combus tion, negative pressure (outside pressure is greater than inside pressure) will build to the point that a downdraft can occur in the furnace vent pipe or chimney. As a result, combustion gases enter the living space creating a po tentially dangerous situation.

In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in this section to install EL296UHE furnaces to ensure effi cient and safe operation. You must consider combustion air needs and requirements for exhaust vents and gas

piping. A portion of this information has been reprinted with permission from the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54). This reprinted material is not the com plete and official position of the ANSI on the referenced subject, which is represented only by the standard in its entirety.

In Canada, refer to the CSA B149 installation codes.

CAUTION

Do not install the furnace in a corrosive or contami nated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventila tion air requirements, as well as all local codes.

All gas‐fired appliances require air for the combustion pro cess. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the fur nace or other appliance will operate inefficiently and un safely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs of all fuel-burning appliances and appliances such as exhaust fans which force air out of the house. When fireplaces, ex haust fans, or clothes dryers are used at the same time as the furnace, much more air is required to ensure proper combustion and to prevent a downdraft. Insufficient air causes incomplete combustion which can result in carbon monoxide.

In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air di lutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contaminants may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, solvents and other contaminants which can corrode furnace compo nents.

The requirements for providing air for combustion and ven tilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed in an unconfined or a confined space.

Unconfined Space

Confined Space

A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cubic feet (1.42 m

) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space. This definition includes furnace closets or small equipment rooms.

When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space con taining the furnace, the return air must be handled by ducts which are sealed to the furnace casing and which terminate outside the space containing the furnace. This is especially important when the furnace is mounted on a platform in a confined space such as a closet or small equipment room. Even a small leak around the base of the unit at the platform or at the return air duct connection can cause a potentially dangerous negative pressure condition. Air for combustion and ventilation can be brought into the confined space ei ther from inside the building or from outside.

Air from Inside

If the confined space that houses the furnace adjoins a space categorized as unconfined, air can be brought in by providing two permanent openings between the two spaces. Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm

) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of total input rating of all gas-fired equipment in the confined space. Each opening must be at least 100 square inches (64516 mm

). One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches (305 mm) of the bottom. See figure 4.

EQUIPMENT IN CONFINED SPACE - ALL AIR FROM INSIDE

ROOF TERMINATED

EXHAUST PIPE

An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic feet (1.42 m

) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the com bined input rating of all appliances installed in that space. This space also includes adjacent rooms which are not separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be un confined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by infiltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight construction with weather stripping and caulking around the windows and doors, follow the procedures in the Air from Outside section.

If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventila tion, the confined space shall be provided with two perma nent openings. One opening shall be within 12” (305mm) of the top of the enclosure and one within 12” (305mm) of the bottom. These openings must communicate directly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a mini mum free area of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btu (645mm per 1.17kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure (figures 5 and 8). When communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 2,000

Btu (645mm

NOTE - When the furnace is installed on a platform or with the horizontal suspension kit in a crawlspace, it must be elevated enough to avoid water damage, accommodate drain trap and to allow the evaporator coil to drain.

Platform Installation of Horizontal Unit

1 - Select location for unit keeping in mind service and

other necessary clearances. See figure 17.

2 - Construct a raised wooden frame and cover frame

with a plywood sheet. If unit is installed above finished space, install an an auxiliary drain pan under unit. Set unit in drain pan as shown in figure 19. Leave 8 inches for service clearance below unit for condensate trap.

3 - Provide a service platform in front of unit. When instal

ling the unit in a crawl space, a proper support platform may be created using concrete blocks.

4 - Route auxiliary drain line so that water draining from

this outlet will be easily noticed by the homeowner.

5 - If necessary, run the condensate line into a conden

sate pump to meet drain line slope requirements. The pump must be rated for use with condensing furnaces. Protect the condensate discharge line from the pump to the outside to avoid freezing.

6 - Continue with exhaust, condensate and intake piping

Return Air -- Horizontal Applications

Return air may be brought in only through the end of a fur nace installed in the horizontal position. The furnace is equipped with a removable bottom panel to facilitate installation. See figure 15.

Filters

This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field-pro vided high velocity rated filter is required for the unit to oper ate properly. Table 1 lists recommended filter sizes. A filter must be in place whenever the unit is operating.

IMPORTANT

If a highefficiency filter is being installed as part of this system to ensure better indoor air quality, the fil ter must be properly sized. Highefficiency filters have a higher static pressure drop than standardef ficiency glass/foam filters. If the pressure drop is too great, system capacity and performance may be re duced. The pressure drop may also cause the limit to trip more frequently during the winter and the indoor coil to freeze in the summer, resulting in an increase in the number of service calls.

Before using any filter with this system, check the specifications provided by the filter manufacturer against the data given in the appropriate Lennox Product Specifications bulletin. Additional informa tion is provided in Service and Application Note ACC002 (August 2000).

Duct System

Use industry‐approved standards to size and install the supply and return air duct system. Refer to ACCA Manual D. This will result in a quiet and low‐static system that has uniform air distribution.

NOTE - This furnace is not certified for operation in heating mode (indoor blower operating at selected heating speed) with an external static pressure which exceeds 0.8 inches w.c. Operation at these conditions may result in improper limit operation.

Supply Air Plenum

If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a removable access panel should be installed in the supply air duct. The access panel should be large enough to permit inspection of the heat exchanger. The furnace access panel must al ways be in place when the furnace is operating and it must not allow leaks.

Return Air Plenum NOTE - Return air must not be drawn from a room where this furnace, or any other gas-fueled appliance

(i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide-producing de vice (i.e., wood fireplace) is installed.

When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pres sure is created in the room. If a gas appliance is operating in a room with negative pressure, the flue products can be pulled back down the vent pipe and into the room. This re verse flow of the flue gas may re sult in incompl ete com bustion and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This raw gas or toxic fumes might then be distributed through out the house by the furnace duct system.

Return air can be brought in through the bottom or either side of the furnace (return air brought into either side of fur nace allowed only in upflow applications). If a furnace with bottom return air is installed on a platform, make an airtight seal between the bottom of the furnace and the platform to ensure that the unit operates properly and safely. Use fiber glass sealing strips, caulking, or equivalent sealing method between the plenum and the furnace cabinet to ensure a tight seal. If a filter is installed, size the return air duct to fit the filter frame.

Pipe & Fittings Specifications

All pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement must conform with American National Standard Institute and the Ameri can Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) stan dards. The solvent shall be free flowing and contain no lumps, undissolved particles or any foreign matter that ad versely affects the joint strength or chemical resistance of the cement. The cement shall show no gelation, stratifica tion, or separation that cannot be removed by stirring. Re fer to the table 2 below for approved piping and fitting ma terials.

Page 13

Page 14

CAUTION

Solvent cements for plastic pipe are flammable liq uids and should be kept away from all sources of ignition. Do not use excessive amounts of solvent cement when making joints. Good ventilation should be maintained to reduce fire hazard and to minimize breathing of solvent vapors. Avoid contact of ce ment with skin and eyes.

IMPORTANT

EL296UHE exhaust and intake connections are made of PVC. Use PVC primer and solvent cement when using PVC vent pipe. When using ABS vent pipe, use transitional solvent cement to make con nections to the PVC fittings in the unit.

Use PVC primer and solvent cement or ABS solvent cement meeting ASTM specifications, refer to Table 2. As an alter nate, use all purpose cement, to bond ABS, PVC, or CPVC pipe when using fittings and pipe made of the same materi als. Use transition solvent cement when bonding ABS to ei ther PVC or CPVC.

Low temperature solvent cement is recommended during installation in cooler weather. Metal or plastic strapping may be used for vent pipe hangers. Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting socket.

Canadian Applications Only - Pipe, fittings, primer and solvent cement used to vent (exhaust) this ap pliance must be certified to ULC S636 and supplied by a single manufacturer as part of an approved vent (ex haust) system. In addition, the first three feet of vent pipe from the furnace flue collar must be accessible for inspection.

Joint Cementing Procedure

All cementing of joints should be done according to the specifications outlined in ASTM D 2855.

DANGER

DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

Fumes from PVC glue may ignite during system check. Allow fumes to dissipate for at least 5 minutes before placing unit into operation.

1 - Measure and cut vent pipe to desired length. 2 - Debur and chamfer end of pipe, removing any ridges

or rough edges. If end is not chamfered, edge of pipe may remove cement from fitting socket and result in a leaking joint.

NOTE - Check the inside of vent pipe thoroughly for any obstruction that may alter furnace operation.

3 - Clean and dry surfaces to be joined. 4 - Test fit joint and mark depth of fitting on outside of pipe. 5 - Uniformly apply a liberal coat of PVC primer for PVC or

use a clean dry cloth for ABS to clean inside socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of fitting socket.

NOTE - Time is critical at this stage. Do not allow prim er to dry before applying cement.

6 - Promptly apply solvent cement to end of pipe and in

side socket surface of fitting. Cement should be ap plied lightly but uniformly to inside of socket. Take care to keep excess cement out of socket. Apply sec ond coat to end of pipe.

7 - Immediately after applying last coat of cement to pipe,

and while both inside socket surface and end of pipe are wet with cement, forcefully insert end of pipe into socket until it bottoms out. Turn PVC pipe 1/4 turn dur ing assembly (but not after pipe is fully inserted) to dis tribute cement evenly. DO NOT turn ABS or cellular core pipe.

NOTE - Assembly should be completed within 20 sec onds after last application of cement. Hammer blows should not be used when inserting pipe.

Page 14

Page 15

8 - After assembly, wipe excess cement from pipe at end

of fitting socket. A properly made joint will show a bead around its entire perimeter. Any gaps may indi cate an improper assembly due to insufficient sol vent.

9 - Handle joints carefully until completely set.

Conduct the following test while each appliance is operat ing and the other appliances (which are not operating) re main connected to the common venting system. If the venting system has been installed improperly, you must correct the system as indicated in the general venting re quirements section.

Venting Practices

Piping Suspension Guidelines

SCHEDULE 40

PVC - 5'

all other pipe* - 3'

* See table 2 for allowable pipe.

NOTE - Isolate piping at the point where it exits the outside wall or roof in order to prevent transmission of vibration to the structure.

NOTE - All horizontal runs of exhaust pipe must slope back to ward unit a minimum of 1/4” (6mm) drop for each 12” (305mm).

Wall Thickness Guidelines

24” maximum 3/4” minimum

inside outside

FIGURE 20

1 - In areas where piping penetrates joists or interior

walls, hole must be large enough to allow clearance on all sides of pipe through center of hole using a hanger.

2 - When furnace is installed in a residence where unit is

shut down for an extended period of time, such as a vacation home, make provisions for draining conden sate collection trap and lines.

Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent

In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a venting system commonly run with separate gas ap pliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.

WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each

appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon mon oxide poisoning or death. The following steps shall be followed for each ap pliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:

1 - Seal any unused openings in the common venting sys

tem.

2 - Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal

pitch. Determine that there is no blockage, restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3 - Close all building doors and windows and all doors be

tween the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dry ers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will oper ate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer ex haust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

4 - Follow the lighting instructions. Turn on the appliance

that is being inspected. Adjust the thermostat so that the appliance operates continuously.

5 - After the main burner has operated for 5 minutes, test

for leaks of flue gases at the draft hood relief opening. Use the flame of a match or candle.

6 - After determining that each appliance connected to the

common venting system is venting properly, (step 3) return all doors, widows, exhaust fans, fireplace damp ers, and any other gas-burning appliances to their pre vious mode of operation.

7 - If a venting problem is found during any of the preced

ing tests, the common venting system must be modi fied to correct the problem.

If an EL296UHE furnace replaces a furnace which was commonly vented with another gas appliance, the size of the existing vent pipe for that gas ap pliance must be checked. Without the heat of the original furnace flue products, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized for the single water heater or other appliance. The vent should be checked for proper draw with the remaining appliance.

NOTE - In Non‐Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace and flue gases are discharged outdoors. In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is taken from outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors.

Intake and exhaust pipe sizing -- Size pipe according to

tables 3 and

5. Count all elbows inside and outside the

home. Table 3 lists the minimum vent pipe lengths per mitted. Table 5 lists the maximum pipe lengths permitted.

Regardless of the diameter of pipe used, the standard roof and wall terminations described in section Exhaust Piping Terminations should be used. Exhaust vent termination pipe is sized to optimize the velocity of the exhaust gas as it exits the termination. Refer to table 8.

In some applications which permit the use of several differ ent sizes of vent pipe, a combination vent pipe may be used. Contact Lennox' Application Department for assis tance in sizing vent pipe in these applications.

NOTE - The exhaust collar on all models is sized to ac commodate 2” Schedule 40 vent pipe. In horizontal ap plications, any transition to exhaust pipe larger than 2” must be made in vertical runs of the pipe. Therefore a 2” elbow must be added before the pipe is transitioned to any size larger than 2”. This elbow must be added to the elbow count used to determine acceptable vent lengths. Contact the Application Department for more information concerning sizing of vent systems which include multiple pipe sizes.

FIGURE 21

Exhaust Piping (Figures 22, 24 and 25)

Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with installa tion following instructions given in piping termination sec tion.

CAUTION

Do not discharge exhaust into an existing stack or stack that also serves another gas appliance. If verti cal discharge through an existing unused stack is re quired, insert PVC pipe inside the stack until the end is even with the top or outlet end of the metal stack.

CAUTION

The exhaust vent pipe operates under positive pres sure and must be completely sealed to prevent leak age of combustion products into the living space.

Intake Piping

The EL296UHE furnace may be installed in either direct vent or non-direct vent applications. In non-direct vent

applications, when intake air will be drawn into the furnace from the surrounding space, the indoor air quality must be considered and guidelines listed in Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air section must be followed.

Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in Direct Vent applications, where combustion air is taken from outdoors and flue gases are discharged outdoors. The

provided air intake screen must not be used in direct vent applications (outdoors).

1 - Use transition solvent cement or a sheet metal screw

to secure the intake pipe to the inlet air connector.

2 - Route piping to outside of structure. Continue with

installation following instructions given in general guidelines for piping terminations and intake and ex haust piping terminations for direct vent sections. Re fer to table

5 for pipe sizes.

Follow the next two steps when installing the unit in Non‐ Direct Vent applications where combustion air is taken

from indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace and flue gases are discharged outdoors.

1 - Use field-provided materials and the factory-provided

air intake screen to route the intake piping as shown in figure 26 or 27. Maintain a minimum clearance of 3” (76mm) around the air intake opening. The air intake opening (with the protective screen) should always be directed forward or to either side in the upflow position, and either straight out or downward in the horizontal position.

The air intake piping must not terminate too close to the flooring or a platform. Ensure that the intake air inlet will not be obstructed by loose insulation or other items that may clog the debris screen.

2 - If intake air is drawn from a ventilated attic (figure 28)

or ventilated crawlspace (figure 29) the exhaust vent length must not exceed those listed in table 6. If 3” di ameter pipe is used, reduce to 2” diameter pipe at the termination point to accommodate the debris screen.

3 - Use a sheet metal screw to secure the intake pipe to

the connector, if desired.

Page 23

CAUTION

If this unit is being installed in an application with combustion air coming in from a space serviced by an exhaust fan, power exhaust fan, or other device which may create a negative pressure in the space, take care when sizing the inlet air opening. The in let air opening must be sized to accommodate the maximum volume of exhausted air as well as the maximum volume of combustion air required for all gas appliances serviced by this space.

General Guidelines for Vent Terminations

In Non‐Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken from indoors or ventilated attic or crawlspace and the flue gases are discharged to the outdoors. The EL296UHE is then classified as a non‐direct vent, Category IV gas fur nace.

In Direct Vent applications, combustion air is taken from outdoors and the flue gases are discharged to the out doors. The EL296UHE is then classified as a direct vent, Category IV gas furnace.

In both Non‐Direct Vent and Direct Vent applications, the vent termination is limited by local building codes. In the absence of local codes, refer to the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223-1/NFPA 54 in U.S.A., and current CSA-B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes in Canada for details.

Position termination according to location given in figure 30 or 31. In addition, position termination so it is free from any obstructions and 12” above the average snow accumula tion.

At vent termination, care must be taken to maintain protective coatings over building materials (prolonged exposure to exhaust condensate can destroy protective coatings). It is recommended that the exhaust outlet not be located within 6 feet (1.8m) of a condensing unit because the condensate can damage the painted coating.

NOTE - See table 7 for maximum allowed exhaust pipe length without insulation in unconditioned space during winter design temperatures below 32°F (0°C). If required exhaust pipe should be insulated with 1/2” (13mm) Arma flex or equivalent. In extreme cold climate areas, 3/4” (19mm) Armaflex or equivalent may be necessary. Insula tion on outside runs of exhaust pipe must be painted or wrapped to protect insulation from deterioration. Exhaust pipe insulation may not be necessary in some specific ap plications.

Details of Intake and Exhaust Piping Terminations for Direct Vent Installations

NOTE - In Direct Vent installations, combustion air is tak en from outdoors and flue gases are discharged to out doors.

NOTE - Flue gas may be slightly acidic and may adversely affect some building materials. If any vent termination is used and the flue gasses may impinge on the building ma terial, a corrosion-resistant shield (minimum 24 inches square) should be used to protect the wall surface. If the optional tee is used, the protective shield is recommended. The shield should be constructed using wood, plastic, sheet metal or other suitable material. All seams, joints, cracks, etc. in the affected area should be sealed using an appropriate sealant. See figure 35.

Intake and exhaust pipes may be routed either horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through the roof. In at tic or closet installations, vertical termination through the roof is preferred. Figures 32 through 46 show typical terminations.

1 - Intake and exhaust terminations are not required to be

in the same pressure zone. You may exit the intake on one side of the structure and the exhaust on another side (figure 33). You may exit the exhaust out the roof and the intake out the side of the structure (figure 34).

2 - Intake and exhaust pipes should be placed as close

together as possible at termination end (refer to il lustrations). Maximum separation is 3” (76MM) on roof terminations and 6” (152MM) on side wall termina tions.

NOTE - When venting in different pressure zones, the maximum separation requirement of intake and ex haust pipe DOES NOT apply.

3 - On roof terminations, the intake piping should termi

nate straight down using two 90° elbows (See figure

32).

4 - Exhaust piping must terminate straight out or up as

shown. A reducer may be required on the exhaust pip ing at the point where it exits the structure to improve the velocity of exhaust away from the intake piping. See table 8.

NOTE - Care must be taken to avoid recirculation of ex haust back into intake pipe.

5 - On field-supplied terminations for side wall exit, ex

haust piping may extend a maximum of 12 inches (305MM) for 2” PVC and 20 inches (508MM) for 3” (76MM) PVC beyond the outside wall. Intake piping should be as short as possible. See figures 36 and 37.

6 - On field-supplied terminations, a minimum distance

between the end of the exhaust pipe and the end of the intake pipe without a termination elbow is 8” and a minimum distance of 6” with a termination elbow. See figures 36 and 37.

7 - If intake and exhaust piping must be run up a side wall

to position above snow accumulation or other ob structions, piping must be supported every 24” (610MM) as shown in figures 36 and 37. In addition, close coupled wall termination kits must be extended for use in this application. See figures 44 and 45. When exhaust and intake piping must be run up an outside wall, the exhaust piping must be terminated with pipe sized per table 8.The intake piping may be equipped with a 90° elbow turndown. Using turndown will add 5 feet (1.5m) to the equivalent length of the pipe.

The exhaust termination tee should be connected to the 2” or 3” PVC flue pipe as shown in the illustration. Do

not use an accelerator in applications that include an exhaust termination tee. The accelerator is not required.

As required. Flue gas may be acidic and may adversely affect some building materials. If a side wall vent

termination is used and flue gases will impinge on the building materials, a corrosion-resistant shield (24 inches square) should be used to protect the wall surface. If optional tee is used, the protective shield is recommende d. The shield should be constructed using wood, sheet metal or other suitable material. All seams, joints, cracks, etc. in affected area, should be sealed using an appropriate sealant.

Exhaust pipe 45° elbow can be rotated to the side away from the combustion air inlet to direct exhaust away

from adjacent property. The exhaust must never be directed toward the combustion air inlet.

Condensate Piping

This unit is designed for either right‐ or left‐side exit of con densate piping in upflow applications. In horizontal applica tions, the condensate trap must extend below the unit. An 8” service clearance is required for the condensate trap. Refer to figures 51 and 53 for condensate trap locations. Figure 59 shows trap assembly using 1/2” PVC or 3/4” PVC.

NOTE - If necessary the condensate trap may be installed up to 5’ away from the furnace. Use PVC pipe to connect trap to furnace condensate outlet. Piping from furnace must slope down a minimum of 1/4” per ft. toward trap.

1 - Determine which side condensate piping will exit the

unit, location of trap, field-provided fittings and length of PVC pipe required to reach available drain.

2 - Use a large flat head screw driver or a 1/2” drive socket

extension and remove plug (figure 51) from the cold end header box at the appropriate location on the side of the unit. Install provided 3/4 NPT street elbow fitting into cold end header box. Use Teflon tape or appropri ate pipe dope.

3 - Install the cap over the clean out opening at the base

of the trap. Secure with clamp. See figure 59.

4 - Install drain trap using appropriate PVC fittings, glue

all joints. Glue the provided drain trap as shown in fig ure 59. Route the condensate line to an open drain.

Condensate line must maintain a 1/4” downward slope from the furnace to the drain.

NOTE - In upflow applications where side return air filter is installed on same side as the conden sate trap, filter rack must be installed beyond condensate trap or trap must be re-located to avoid interference.

FIGURE 51

5 - Figures 54 and 56 show the furnace and evaporator

coil using a separate drain. If necessary the conden sate line from the furnace and evaporator coil can drain together. See figures 55, 57 and 58. Upflow furnace (figure 57) - In upflow furnace applica tions the field provided vent must be a minimum 1” to a maximum 2” length above the condensate drain outlet connection. Any length above 2” may result in a flooded heat exchanger if the combined primary drain line were to become restricted. Horizontal furnace (figure 58) - In horizontal furnace applications the field provided vent must be a mini mum 4” to a maximum 5” length above the condensate drain outlet connection. Any length above 5” may re sult in a flooded heat exchanger if the combined pri mary drain line were to become restricted.

NOTE - In horizontal applications it is recommended to install a secondary drain pan underneath the unit and trap assembly.

NOTE - Appropriately sized tubing and barbed fitting may be used for condensate drain. Attach to the drain on the trap using a hose clamp. See figure 52.

FIGURE 52

CAUTION

Do not use copper tubing or existing copper conden sate lines for drain line.

6 - If unit will be started immediately upon completion of

installation, prime trap per procedure outlined in Unit Start-Up section.

Condensate line must slope downward away from the trap to drain. If drain level is above condensate trap, condensate pump must be used. Condensate drain line should be routed within the conditioned space to avoid freezing of condensate and blockage of drain line. If this is not possible, a heat cable kit may be used on the condensate trap and line. Heating cable kit is available from Lennox in various lengths; 6 ft. (1.8m) kit no. 26K68; 24 ft. (7.3m) - kit no. 26K69; and 50 ft. (15.2m) - kit no. 26K70.

Gas Piping

Gas supply piping should not allow more than 0.5”W.C. drop in pressure between gas meter and unit. Supply gas pipe must not be smaller than unit gas connection.

CAUTION

If a flexible gas connector is required or allowed by the authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipe shall be installed at the gas valve and extend outside the furnace cabinet. The flexible connector can then be added between the black iron pipe and the gas supply line.

WARNING

Do not exceed 600 in-lbs (50 ft-lbs) torque when at taching the gas piping to the gas valve.

1 - Gas piping may be routed into the unit through either

the left‐ or right‐hand side. Supply piping enters into the gas valve from the side of the valve as shown in figure 61.

2 - When connecting gas supply, factors such as length of

run, number of fittings and furnace rating must be con sidered to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table 10 lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications.

NOTE - Use two wrenches when connecting gas pip ing to avoid transferring torque to the manifold.

3 - Gas piping must not run in or through air ducts, clothes

chutes, chimneys or gas vents, dumb waiters or eleva tor shafts. Center gas line through piping hole. Gas line should not touch side of unit. See figures 61 and

62.

6 - In some localities, codes may require installation of a

manual main shut‐off valve and union (furnished by in staller) external to the unit. Union must be of the ground joint type.

IMPORTANT

Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the actions of liquified petro leum gases.

Leak Check

After gas piping is completed, carefully check all piping connections (factory- and field-installed) for gas leaks. Use a leak detecting solution or other preferred means.

Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Check all connections using a commercially available soap solution made specifically for leak detection.

The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shut‐off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at pressures greater than or equal to 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).

ISOLATE

GAS VALVE

IMPORTANT

When testing pressure of gas lines, gas valve must be disconnected and isolated. See figure 60. Gas valves can be damaged if subjected to pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa).

4 - Piping should be sloped 1/4 inch per 15 feet (6mm per

5.6m) upward toward the gas meter from the furnace. The piping must be supported at proper intervals, ev ery 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.05m), using suitable hangers or straps. Install a drip leg in vertical pipe runs to serve as a trap for sediment or condensate.

5 - A 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located

on the gas valve to facilitate test gauge connection. See figure 66.

WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in serious injury, death, or property damage. Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Check all connections using a commercially available soap solution made specifically for leak detection. Some soaps used for leak detection are corrosive to cer tain metals. Carefully rinse piping thoroughly after leak test has been completed.

Accessory Terminals

One line voltage “ACC” 1/4” spade terminal is provided on the furnace integrated control. See figure 65 for integrated control configuration. This terminal is energized when the indoor blower is operating. Any accessory rated up to one amp can be connected to this terminal with the neutral leg of the circuit being connected to one of the provided neutral terminals. If an accessory rated at greater than one amp is connected to this terminal, it is necessary to use an exter nal relay.

An unpowered, normally open (dry) set of contacts with a 1/4” spade terminal “HUM” are provided for humidifier con nections and may be connected to 24V or 120V. Any hu midifier rated up to one amp can be connected to these ter minals. In 120V humidifier applications the neutral leg of the circuit can be connected to one of the provided neutral terminals. This terminal is energized in the heating mode.

Install the room thermostat according to the instructions provided with the thermostat. See figure 64 for thermostat designations. If the furnace is being matched with a heat pump, refer to the FM21 installation instruction or appropri ate dual fuel thermostat instructions.

Indoor Blower Speeds

1 - When the thermostat is set to “FAN ON,” the indoor

blower will run continuously on the field selectable fan speed (“LOW HEAT” is default) when there is no cool ing or heating demand.

2 - When the EL296UHE is running in the heating mode,

the indoor blower will run on the 'LOW HEAT” or “HIGH HEAT” speed per demand.

3 - When there is a cooling demand, the indoor blower will

run on the “LOW COOL” or “HIGH COOL” speed per demand.

Generator Use - Voltage Requirements

The following requirements must be kept in mind when specifying a generator for use with this equipment:

D The furnace requires 120 volts +

WARNING

Carefully review all configuration information pro vided. Failure to properly set DIP switches, jumpers and on-board links can result in improper operation!

On-Board Link W914 Dehum

On-board link W914, is a clippable connection between ter minals R and DS on the integrated control. W914 must be cut when the furnace is installed with a thermostat which features humidity control. If the link is not cut, terminal “DS” will remain energized not allowing the blower to reduce to low cool speed upon a call for dehumidification.

On-Board Link W951 Heat Pump (R to O)

On-board link W951 is a clippable connection between ter minals R and O on the integrated control. W951 must be cut when the furnace is installed in applications which include a heat pump unit and a thermostat which features dual fuel use. If the link is left intact, terminal “O” will remain ener gized eliminating the HEAT MODE in the heat pump.

On-Board Link W915 2 Stage Compr (Y1 to Y2)

On-board link W915 is a clippable connection between ter minals Y1 and Y2 on the integrated control. W915 must be cut if two-stage cooling will be used. If the Y1 to Y2 link is not cut the outdoor unit will operate in second-stage cool ing only.

Integrated Control DIP Switch Settings

EL296UHE units are equipped with a two-stage integrated control. This control manages ignition timing, heating mode fan off delays and indoor blower speeds based on selections made using the control dip switches and jump ers. The control includes an internal watchguard feature which automatically resets the ignition control when it has been locked out. After one hour of continuous thermostat demand for heat, the watchguard will break and remake thermostat demand to the furnace and automatically reset the control to relight the furnace.

Heating Operation DIP Switch Settings Switch 1 -- Thermostat Selection -- This unit may be

used with either a single-stage or two-stage thermostat. The thermostat selection is made using a DIP switch which must be properly positioned for the particular application. The DIP switch is factory-positioned for use with a twostage thermostat. If a single-stage thermostat is to be used, the DIP switch must be repositioned.

a- Select “OFF” for two-stage heating operation con

trolled by a two-stage heating thermostat (factory set ting);

b - Select “ON” for two-stage heating operation con

trolled by a single-stage heating thermostat. This set ting provides a timed delay before second-stage heat is initiated.

Switch 2 -- Second Stage Delay (Used with SingleStage Thermostat Only) -- This switch is used to deter

mine the second stage on delay when a single-stage ther mostat is being used. The switch is factory-set in the OFF position, which provides a 7-minute delay before secondstage heat is initiated. If the switch is toggled to the ON position, it will provide a 12-minute delay before secondstage heat is initiated. This switch is only activated when the thermostat selector jumper is positioned for SINGLEstage thermostat use.

Indoor Blower Operation DIP Switch Settings Switches 3 and 4 -- Heating Mode Blower-Off Delay --

The blower-on delay of 30 seconds is not adjustable. The blower-off delay (time that the blower operates after the heating demand has been satisfied) can be adjusted by moving switches 3 and 4 on the integrated control. The unit

is shipped from the factory with a blower-off delay of 90 se conds. The blower off delay affects comfort and is adjust able to satisfy individual applications. Adjust the blower off delay to achieve a supply air temperature between 90° and 110°F at the exact moment that the blower is de-energized. Longer off delay settings provide lower supply air tempera tures; shorter settings provide higher supply air temperatu res.Table 11 provides the blower off timings that will result from different switch settings.

Unit Start-Up

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING

WARNING

Do not use this furnace if any part has been under water. A flood-damaged furnace is extremely dan gerous. Attempts to use the furnace can result in fire or explosion. Immediately call a qualified ser vice technician to inspect the furnace and to replace all gas controls, control system parts, and electrical parts that have been wet or to replace the furnace, if deemed necessary.

WARNING

Danger of explosion. Can cause injury or product or property damage. Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating occurs, shut off the gas valve to the furnace before shutting off the electrical supply.

CAUTION

Before attempting to perform any service or mainte nance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at dis connect switch.

BEFORE LIGHTING the unit, smell all around the fur

nace area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor be cause some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor.

The gas valve on the EL296UHE is equipped with a gas control switch (lever). Use only your hand to move switch. Never use tools. If the the switch will not move by hand, do not try to repair it. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.

Placing the furnace into operation:

EL296UHE units are equipped with an automatic hot sur face ignition system. Do not burners on this furnace. Each time the thermostat calls for heat, the burners will automatically light. The ignitor does not get hot when there is no call for heat on these units.

Priming Condensate Trap

The condensate trap should be primed with water prior to start-up to ensure proper condensate drainage. Either pour 10 fl. oz. (300 ml) of water into the trap, or follow these steps to prime the trap:

1 - Follow the lighting instructions to place the unit into op

eration. 2 - Set the thermostat to initiate a heating demand. 3 - Allow the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes. 4 - Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating de

mand.

attempt to manually light

5 - Wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. Set the

thermostat to initiate a heating demand and again al low the burners to fire for approximately 3 minutes.

6 - Adjust the thermostat to deactivate the heating de

mand and wait for the combustion air inducer to stop. At this point, the trap should be primed with sufficient water to ensure proper condensate drain operation.

WARNING

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.

Gas Valve Operation (Figure 66)

1 - STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning of

this section. 2 - Set the thermostat to the lowest setting. 3 - Turn off all electrical power to the unit. 4 - This furnace is equipped with an ignition device which

automatically lights the burners. Do not try to light the

burners by hand. 5 - Remove the access panel. 6 - Move gas valve switch to OFF. See figure 66. 7 - Wait five minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell

gas, STOP! Immediately call your gas supplier from a

neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instruc

tions. If you do not smell gas go to next step. 8 - Move gas valve switch to ON. See figure 66.

INLET PRESSURE POST

4 - Move gas valve switch to OFF. 5 - Replace the access panel.

Failure To Operate

If the unit fails to operate, check the following: 1 - Is the thermostat calling for heat? 2 - Are access panels securely in place? 3 - Is the main disconnect switch closed? 4 - Is there a blown fuse or tripped breaker? 5 - Is the filter dirty or plugged? Dirty or plugged filters will

cause the limit control to shut the unit off. 6 - Is gas turned on at the meter? 7 - Is the manual main shut‐off valve open? 8 - Is the internal manual shut‐off valve open? 9 - Is the unit ignition system in lockout? If the unit locks out

again, inspect the unit for blockages.

Heating Sequence Of Operation

1 - When thermostat calls for heat, combustion air inducer

starts. 2 - Combustion air pressure switch proves blower opera

tion. Switch is factory set and requires no adjustment. 3 - After a 15-second prepurge, the hot surface ignitor en

ergizes. 4 - After a 20-second ignitor warm-up period, the gas

valve solenoid opens. A 4-second trial for ignition peri

od begins.” 5 - Gas is ignited, flame sensor proves the flame, and the

combustion process continues. 6 - If flame is not detected after first ignition trial, the igni

tion control will repeat steps 3 and 4 four more times

before locking out the gas valve (“WATCHGUARD”

flame failure mode). The ignition control will then auto

matically repeat steps 1 through 6 after 60 minutes.

To interrupt the 60-minute “WATCHGUARD” period,

move thermostat from “Heat” to “OFF” then back to

“Heat”. Heating sequence then restarts at step 1.

Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before check ing gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two revolu tions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time in table 15. If manifold pressure matches table 17 and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and re striction. Remove temporary gas meter if installed.

NOTE - To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas appliances connected to meter.

Supply Pressure Measurement

An inlet post located on the gas valve provides access to the supply pressure. See figure 66. Back out the 3/32 hex screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing and connect to a manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 17 for supply line pressure.

On multiple unit installations, each unit should be checked separately, with and without units operating. Supply pres sure must fall within range listed in table 17.

Manifold Pressure Measurement

NOTE - Pressure test adapter kit (10L34) is available from Lennox to facilitate manifold pressure measurement.

A manifold pressure post located on the gas valve provides access to the manifold pressure. See figure 66. Back out the 3/32 hex screw one turn, connect a piece of 5/16 tubing and connect to a manometer to measure manifold pres sure. To correctly measure manifold pressure, the differential pressure between the positive gas manifold and the nega tive burner box must be considered.

1 - Connect the test gauge positive side “+“ to manifold

pressure tap on gas valve as noted above.

2 - Tee into the gas valve regulator vent hose and connect

to test gauge negative “-”.

3 - Ignite unit on low fire and let run for 5 minutes to allow

for steady state conditions.

4 - After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record

manifold pressure and compare to value given in table

17.

5 - If necessary, make adjustments. Figure 66 shows

location of high fire and low fire adjustment screws.

6 - Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 on high fire. See values in

table 17.

NOTE - Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an accurate reading has been obtained. Re-start unit and check gas valve for gas leaks.

WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD!

Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon monox ide poisoning or death. The following steps shall be followed for each ap pliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances con nected to the venting system are not in operation.

After the EL296UHE gas furnace has been started, the fol lowing test should be conducted to ensure proper venting and sufficient combustion air has been provided to the EL296UHE as well as to other gas‐fired appliances which are separately vented.

If a EL296UHE furnace replaces a Category I furnace which was commonly vented with another gas appliance, the size of the existing vent pipe for that gas appliance must be checked. Without the heat of the original furnace flue products, the existing vent pipe is probably oversized for the single water heater or other appliance. The vent should be checked for proper draw with the remaining appliance.

The test should be conducted while all appliances (both in operation and those not in operation) are connected to the venting system being tested. If the venting system has been installed improperly, or if provisions have not been made for sufficient amounts of combustion air, corrections must be made as outlined in the previous section.

1 - Seal any unused openings in the venting system.

2 - Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and

striction, leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3 - To the extent that it is practical, close all building doors

and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances connected to the venting system are lo

cated and other spaces of the building. 4 - Close fireplace dampers. 5 - Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not con

nected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust

fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so

they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a

summer exhaust fan. 6 - Follow the lighting instruction to place the appliance

being inspected into operation. Adjust thermostat so

appliance will operate continuously. 7 - Use the flame of match or candle to test for spillage of

flue gases at the draft hood relief opening after 5 min

utes of main burner operation. 8 - If improper venting is observed during any of the

above tests, the venting system must be corrected or

sufficient combustion/make‐up air must be provided.

The venting system should be re‐sized to approach

the minimum size as determined by using the ap

propriate tables in appendix G in the current standards

of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI-Z223.1/NPFA 54

in the U.S.A., and the appropriate Natural Gas and

Propane appliances venting sizing tables in the cur

rent standard of the CSA-B149 Natural Gas and Pro

pane Installation Codes in Canada. 9 - After determining that each appliance remaining

connected to the common venting system properly

vents when tested as indicated in step 3, return

doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers

and any other gas‐burning appliance to their previous

condition of use.

Other Unit Adjustments

Primary Limit.

The primary limit is located on the heating compartment vestibule panel. This limit is factory set and requires no ad justment.

Flame Rollout Switches (Two)

These manually reset switches are located on the front of the burner box.

Pressure Switch

The pressure switch is located in the heating compartment on the cold end header box. This switch checks for proper combustion air inducer operation before allowing ignition trial. The switch is factory-set and must not be adjusted.

Temperature Rise

Place the unit into operation with a second-stage heating demand. After supply and return air temperatures have stabilized, check the temperature rise. If necessary, adjust the heating blower speed to maintain the temperature rise within the range shown on the unit nameplate. Increase the blower speed to decrease the temperature rise. Decrease the blower speed to increase the temperature rise. Failure to properly adjust the temperature rise may cause erratic limit operation.

Electrical

1 - Check all wiring for loose connections.

2 - Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace

operating). Correct voltage is 120VAC +

3 - Check amp-draw on the blower motor with blower ac

cess panel in place. Unit Nameplate__________Actual__________

Exhaust and Air Intake Pipe

1 - Check exhaust and air intake connections for tightness

and to make sure there is no blockage.

2 - Is pressure switch closed? Obstructed exhaust pipe

will cause unit to shut off at pressure switch. Check ter mination for blockages.

3 - Obstructed pipe or termination may cause rollout

switches to open. Reset manual flame rollout switches on burner box assembly if necessary.

Heating Sequence of Operation

Electronic Ignition

The two-stage, variable speed integrated control used in EL296UHE units has an added feature of an internal Watch guard control. The feature serves as an automatic reset de vice for ignition control lockout caused by ignition failure. Af ter one hour of continuous thermostat demand for heat, the Watchguard will break and remake thermostat demand to the furnace and automatically reset the control to begin the ignition sequence.

NOTE - The ignition control thermostat selection DIP switch is factory-set in the “TWO-STAGE” position.

Applications Using a Two-Stage Thermostat

A - Heating Sequence -- Integrated Control Thermostat Selection DIP Switch 1 OFF in “Two-Stage” Position (Factory Setting)

1 - On a call for heat, thermostat first-stage contacts close

sending a signal to the integrated control. The inte grated control runs a self‐diagnostic program and checks high temperature limit switches for normally closed contacts and pressure switches for normally open contacts. The combustion air inducer is ener gized at low speed.

2 - Once the control receives a signal that the low pres

sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer be gins a 15-second pre-purge in low speed.

NOTE - If the low fire pressure switch does not close the combustion air inducer will switch to high fire. After a 15 second pre-purge the high fire pressure switch will close and the unit will begin operation on high fire. After 10 to 20 seconds of high fire operation the unit will switch to low fire..

3 - After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial ig

nitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air in ducer continues to operate at low speed.

4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the gas

valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition oc curs. At the same time, the control module sends a sig nal to begin an indoor blower 30-second ON-delay. When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is ener gized on the low fire heating speed, the HUM contacts close energizing the humidifier and 120V ACC termi nal is energized. The furnace will continue this opera tion as long as the thermostat has a first-stage heating demand.

5 - If second-stage heat is required, the thermostat sec

ond-stage heat contacts close and send a signal to the integrated control. The integrated control initiates a 30-second second-stage recognition delay.

6 - At the end of the recognition delay, the integrated con

trol energizes the combustion air inducer at high speed. The control also checks the high fire (second stage) pressure switch to make sure it is closed. The high fire (second stage) gas valve is energized and the indoor blower motor is energized for operation at the high fire heating speed.

7 - When the demand for high fire (second stage) heat is

satisfied, the combustion air inducer is switched to the low-fire heating speed and the high-fire (second stage) gas valve is de-energized. The low-fire (first stage) gas valve continues operation. The indoor blower motor is switched to the low-fire heating speed.

8 - When the thermostat demand for low-fire (first stage)

heat is satisfied, the gas valve is de-energized and the field-selected indoor blower off delay begins. The combustion air inducer begins a 5-second post-purge period.

9 - When the combustion air post-purge period is com

plete, the inducer, the HUM contacts as well as the 120V ACC terminals are de-energized. The indoor blower is de-energized at the end of the off delay.

Applications Using A Single-Stage Thermostat

B - Heating Sequence -- Integrated Control Thermostat Selection DIP Switch 1 ON in “Single-Stage” Position

NOTE - In these applications, two-stage heat will be initi ated by the integrated control if heating demand has not been satisfied after the field adjustable period (7 or 12 min utes).

1 - On a call for heat, thermostat first-stage contacts close

2 - Once the control receives a signal that the low pres

sure switch has closed, the combustion air inducer be gins a 15-second pre-purge in low speed.

3 - After the pre-purge is complete, a 20-second initial ig

nitor warm-up period begins. The combustion air in ducer continues to operate at low speed.

4 - After the 20-second warm-up period has ended, the gas

valve is energized on low fire (first stage) and ignition oc curs. At the same time, the control module sends a sig nal to begin an indoor blower 30-second ON-delay. When the delay ends, the indoor blower motor is ener gized on the low fire heating speed and the HUM con tacts are energized. The integrated control also initi ates a second-stage on delay (factory-set at 7 minutes; adjustable to 12 minutes).

5 - If the heating demand continues beyond the second-

stage on delay, the integrated control energizes the combustion air inducer at high speed. The control also checks the high fire (second stage) pressure switch to make sure it is closed. The high fire (second stage) gas valve is energized and the indoor blower motor is energized for operation at the high fire heating speed.

6 - When the thermostat heating demand is satisfied, the

combustion air inducer begins a 5-second low speed post-purge. The field-selected indoor blower off delay begins. The indoor blower operates at the low-fire heating speed.

7 - When the combustion air post-purge period is com

plete, the inducer, the HUM contacts as well as the 120V ACC terminals are de-energized. The indoor blower is de-energized at the end of the off delay.
